Thanks for the PING, Fraulein.

BTW, my grandpa was a big German guy who smoked cigars and loved to tell jokes and play pranks. He came to this country as a lad of sixteen, and worked hard all his life. He was a baker, and baked all of my sisters' wedding cakes. Everyone in the neighborhood knew him and liked him. The ladies swooned as he walked by and tipped his straw hat on a summer's evening.

Thanks, GrandMoM, for starting this thread.

COOL! My Grandpa was German, too, and had the most WONDERFUL sense of humor.
